Donors Gather for Miriam’s Library Benefit Event

Donors and supporters to the Miriam’s Library Campaign, led by Mendel Mintz in memory of his wife Miriam OBM, gathered at a warm musical event on Wednesday night.

Singers Benny Friedman, Joey Newcomb, Eli Marcus and Tzali Gold, accompanied by musician Chony Milecki, led the crowd in a heartfelt Kumzitz.

The MC was Dudi Farkash, and guests enjoyed a buffet of bites and an elaborate bar by David Babinet of Bar L’Chaim.

Mendel Mintz, who is leading the building of a 14,000-square-foot educational center in Baltimore, MD, where he and Miriam lived, thanked the singers for graciously participating to enhance the beautiful and uplifting program. He thanked producer Dovid Weinbaum for his assistance as well. Special thanks to Shmuly Wudowsky for producing the event, and Mendel Abelsky of Charidy for his assistance in organizing the event.

Mintz also thanked the large number of donors for their incredible support.

“Over these past days, I’ve seen an outpouring of support that has humbled me more than I can say,” Mintz said. “So many of you have stepped forward, some because you knew Miriam, and many because you wanted to stand with me personally. I don’t take that for granted for even a moment.

“We are now nearing 3,000 donors, an overwhelming number that speaks to the power of kindness, friendship, and community. I never imagined that so many people would choose to be part of this, whether for the cause, for what Miriam stood for, or simply because you believed in me and wanted to help carry this forward.

“Every donation, every message, every team, each one reminded me how strong we are when we show up for one another. It’s something Miriam lived quietly every single day, and something this campaign has brought to life in a way I could never have anticipated,” Mendel said.
